Last Night by Az Yet
Last Night by Az Yet is a very sexy song, but not suitable for the young to listen. How I wish that the lyrics are a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can put it on for my young nieces and nephews to hear.
The song is actually very direct …

Nine Inch Nails - Broken
Overview - Broken, the first EP put out by Nine Inch Nails, is basically eight extremely aggressive songs just fueled by anger, which becomes obvious not only through Reznor’s voice but even through his guitar playing. Generally I’m not a huge fan of albums that have just one feel …

If you …
Slayer - Disciple (Song)
Disciple is a song by Slayer which starts out with a somewhat slow rhythm in comparison to an average Slayer song to be honest. When Araya first came in I thought his vocal tone was going to be absolutely terrible, and although it seems slightly bad on this track, …
Love in this Club song by Usher ft. Young Jeezy
Love in this Club is a slow and somehow really addictive song to listen to and also slow dance to. It is sung by Usher and it has a bit of a “bad boy” flare to it as well, which makes the chorus of the song even more appealing …

The Beatles - For No One (Song)

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (Album)
Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009.

Overall, I would say that …

An album that really doesnt stand out in the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen is the album Van Halen 2. I really like this album because it still had the classic Van Halen tone with more of a punchy sound to it. Although no Van Halen album …
Barry Manilow CD
Hearing Barry Manilow sing songs from the 70’s was spine-tingling. He’s not only a musical product of the 70’s himself, but he chose some very popular songs of that era to sing for this CD. All the songs are familiar, yet more-so with Barry’s warm vocals. The songs seem …

E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey album doesn’t disappoint. At a moment when I thought that there might be lesser and perhaps then extinct singing voice from Mariah Carey, she surprises me up with an album.
And to summarize, E=MC2 truly is a fly. It has the normal sounding …
Music Video of Love Game by Lady Gaga

The Beatles - She Said She Said (Song)
